INDUE* LLION YEARS i W ^BRUC im SAVING FACE A friend was telling me about Big Business in China. No man ever is discharged there, he said. If it becomes neces- sary to remove an employee the boss arranges to have a friend tip him off. The next morning the doomed man appears in the boss' office. "My uncle in the most remote province of the Chung River is very ill," he explains. "It is necessary that I should go to attend him." The bosj assumes an expression of distress. "Why, to reach the Chung River and minister to your uncle and then return will require more than two years," he protests. "Nevertheless, I must go." "Noble fellow," says the boss, embracing him. "Do your duty, and though your journey keep you away for years, have no fear. Your place will be kept open for you." The next morning and every morning thereafter the two meet on the street, but there is no embarrassment, no sense of inferiority on the part of the ex-employe. Face has been saved. I remember one of the first me...

Such a person is Phebe K.

A HUNDRED MILLION years! k. While monsters muddied PENNSYLVANIA waters THE Bradford-Allegany crude oil which Sinclair refines into Sinclair Pennsylvania Motor Oil was already ages old when monsters like these came into being in Pennsyl- vania. Much of Nature's priceless mellowing and filter- ing period had already passed even then—for Bradford- Allegaay crude was formed in the still-earlier Devonian Age, tfcat wonderful age in earth's history when oil- forming conditions were most perfect. Before making it into Pennsylvania Motor Oil, Sinclair de-waxes Bradford-Allegany crude and frees it from non-lubricat- ing petroleum jelly at as low as 60° F. below zero.

rshL >«* «**'*4 ' v'.' in 1«T2, white stationed *t fiajTi Raws,, about 66 IXU sMdters of my regiment received "*■ orders to go to Texas, round up a hard of cattle and drive them to Kansas. Cattle were very cheap in Texas at that time. All through the seventies and eighties enormous herds of cattle were driven over the trail to points on the Kansas Pacific Railroad, where they would be loaded on cars and shipped to Eastern markets, chiefly to St. Louis or Kan- sas City. St. Joseph and Omaha were also big cattle markets, but they were generally supplied from the'Wyoming or Montana ranges. Abilene, Kansas, was the main shipping point for quite a while and there were often as many as 50,000 head of cattle at one time scattered for miles up and down the K a w river, awaiting shipment to market. Of course, most cow towns in those days were more or less hilarious, but the tendency in that direction was frus- trated at Abilene, Kansas, by a city marshal whose name was "Wild Bill" Hickok....

*• I : law Enforcement over the country candidate! are on the stump, and the key- note of every candidate's cam- paign is "enforce the law." This Is by no means a new political slogan. Forty years ago candidates were seek- - 4ng votes with the same cry, and have (done so at every election since that ftlme, yet candor forces all of us to ad- |mit that there is no better enforcement )of the law now than there was half a century ago. And why? I dislike to i«ay it, but it is true nevertheless, the people do not want the laws enforced. Furthermore, most people are law- breakers. I would not dare say this to one man, but it is safe to say it to all men. David, the sweet singer of Israel, «mployed the same strategy. Warrior though he was, he probably would not have singled out a strong-muscled, hard- fisted six-footer and called him a liar, but he boldly declared all men liars and got away with it. To be sure most men are in favor of the enforcement of some laws, but who can say from his h...

Stone, a farmer liv- ing east of Muleshoe in Bailey county, raised ten acres of winter wheat un- der pump irrigation last season. The yield was 44 Vas bushels of very high grade grain to the acre. Mr. Stone also had 130 acres of wheat grown under rainfall con- ditions. This field made an average yield of 25 bushels to the acre. At Post, Garza county, is located the Postex Cotton Mill, one of the finest all- sheeting mills in the coun- try. About 2,600 five-hun- dred pound bales of the highest grade cotton grown in that section of the State are used annually. Every week about fifty bales of cotton are turned into something like 23,500 pounds of yarn. The pro- ducts of this mill are fine quality and find a ready market. The movement of onions in the Laredo area, which lasted about one month, brought about $1,000,000. A few shipments were made later. Prices during most of the season remain- ed around $2....
